Change of direction for Plunket car seat services
Plunket is changing its car seat service and moving away from rentals and sales to focus on the prevention of unintentional injuries more broadly. As part of the changes, Plunket plans to do more to prevent children from being injured in and around the home, where most accidents occur. The charity’s car seat service, which has helped many thousands of Kiwi families keep their children safe when travelling in cars, will continue to focus on education and advocacy as part of the broader strategy for preventing unintentional injuries.Evenflo car seat buckle recall notice

Wanganui Plunket Area Manager Jo Malcolm-Black says that since the Christchurch earthquake, building safety has been a priority for organisations across the country. “The safety of our staff and clients is a top priority for Plunket and we have commissioned an engineering report for the Campbell St rooms to help us to determine whether this is an appropriate site.
